Gluten Free Everyday Eats: Day 1

Missing from my pictures today: The peach I ate for breakfast (last pieces stolen from my plate while I went to get my cell phone for a photo…LOL) and the three pieces of cucumber sushi roll I ate with my dinner.

Breakfast: Cottage cheese, water, peaches

Lunch: GIANT salad with sesame dressing and water (And a 1/2 scoop of steamed rice. I seriously love rice with my salads lately… I don’t know why….) I left the tomato slices on the plate. Blech. There is something about the texture of a tomato that does not do it for me.

Dinner: Chicken, veggie and rice stir-fry, water and dessert – an ice cream sandwich! Yum! (It was 93F in our house tonight…totally worth the ice cream cooling treat to me.)

Lemme think. For breakfast I had an omelet made with egg whites and cheese, green pepper and onion inside and a corn tortilla fried till just a little brown. For lunch, I ate a sunbutter Go Picnic meal (had a fruit/nut mix, fruit leather, sunbutter, gluten free crackers and probably something else, but I am not sure. It is included in the Go Picnic meal. For supper I had a hamburger on an Udi’s bun and some tater tots. I had coffee, water and water to drink for the three meals.

Breakfast: Coffee, toast with melted cheese
Lunch: baked salmon, green beans, coleslaw
Dinner: gf chex cereal, milk
Snack: Homemade Iced frappuccino made with almond milk
Today was not the greatest day for eats. I usually don’t eat out much since it does hit the wallet,( 3 guys in my family…enough said) so most of our meals & snacks are homemade.

Breakfast: omelet with lots of avocado and tomatoes
Lunch: buffalo burger on green beans & almonds with dessert of raspberries stuffed each with a chocolate chip
Dinner: garden-fresh squash, broccoli, mushroom & onion stir-fry with natural beef hot dogs and a chopped salad of cucumber, avocado, apple, & zucchini with lemon juice/olive oil vinaigrette. Dessert was watermelon and more chocolate chips. (I’m testing the beef hot dogs to see how I react to them (plus my husband bought them for a barbecue last weekend and we didn’t use them yet)).

My doctor thinks I may be sensitive. I have been tested, multiple times, and I am not celiac. But I am going gluten free for a test period, but I can’t eat fruit, vegetables or many dairy products due to other health issues. So your test day would basically leave me with rice, chicken and water. I am hungry all the time. I don’t want to eat all the gluten free alternative products because I feel like they are just way too caloric for the most part. I am looking forward to seeing future days to see what other days look like. Any suggestions?
